someone else’s birthday

“When are we?” she asks.

“26th June. 2005.”

“Hm.”

The party sounds could be heard, the lights and people contained in a small space within the darkness that was our view from the park opposite.

“You don’t remember?”

“No.”

I sigh. Look up to the stars above. I’m not sure if I do myself. Was this just a fragmentation of my own disillusion?  The stars were out, I remember that. Saufi was lying on a table at the other end of the park, heartbroken over a girl who wouldn’t dance with him. The recollection is fuzzy, but I remember her with me. I’m not surprised she doesn’t.

“I guess it’s not important.”

“What happened here?”

“I think I fell in love.”
